Was on a JetBlue flight that initially had a delay due to mechanical issues, but that cleared up faster than they expected, but then we were delayed for nearly 2 hours because the captain just fucked off somewhere and no one could get in touch...

Wife: did you buy bathroom hardware set yet?

Me:No. You didn't like the ones I picked.

Wife: show me again.

Ten min later

Wife: I'll look.

Another ten minutes

Wife: I put it on amazon cart. You can checkout.

:rolleyes:

Depends on what you deem high end. And this is the towel rack and shit like that.

Last time I spent two months picking out hardware. She sold the house 2 months after the reno... I ain't spending that kind of effort this time around.

Still spent ten hours driving around looking at shit.

apparently flat black is the new vogue colour. Looks like crap to me but whatever. I am partial to oil rubbed bronze.

You should consider chrome fixtures. Chrome never goes out of style. It has been a staple in bathrooms and other areas of the home for decades.

Yeah no chrome in this house. That was what we had. Wait my kitchen faucet is chrome and I am not replacing it.

Seems like it's his wife calling all the shots.
It's her reno, why should I lift a finger? I spent a lot of time the last reno. And she decided to move two months after that. I will remind her it was her decisions so if she wants to yell at someone she can find a mirror.

Roommate just got me Chili Cheese fries from Dickie's. While I don't mind a bowl of chili with beans, beef only chili's what belongs on Chili Fries. And this isn't even chili with beans, it tastes like they just put their BBQ baked beans on top of fries. While not terrible, it was not what I expected. They also forgot the cheese. 3 ingredients and they left 1 out.

Someone was murdered near my off grid property, and the murderer is still at large. Great. I guess I'm not in as safe of an area as I hoped. The riff raff is really spreading far and wide it seems. I had a bad feeling as we've been getting lot of cell tower wiring stolen in the past few months and some of those are very remote.

Isn't Nunavut kinda crime-frequent and of the severe variety? I know your place isn't there but it's isolated and shit happens.

The "isolated areas" version of crime usually more close knit and neighbors being savvy bitchy drug guzzling alphas. Farmers and businesspeople spawning out of those places may work hard, but they can fuck themselves for being pieces of shit.
You got booze
You got drugs
You got no monitoring.
Perfect for breeding a criminal spirit.

Was never like this before, it's crazy how things changed in the past few years. Hopefully things change after the next election but not getting my hopes up, I think the country is too far gone at this point.
